Herrscher of Reason Core

"Come on, little fellow, don't be nervous. Stand in the middle of this Soul Conduction Array."

Mo Yuan moved according to the Spirit Pagoda master's instructions, his face expressionless.

Of course, he wasn't nervous.

In fact, by the third second after entering the room, he had already memorized the composition of the Soul Conduction Array engraved throughout it.

If he had the same materials, he was confident he could replicate an identical awakening array within half a day.

The Spirit Pagoda master performing his awakening was a sturdy young man. Only after seeing Mo Yuan stand in the center of the array did he begin introducing himself.

"My name is Su Yutao. I'm a second-level deacon of the Spirit Pagoda. My Martial Soul is Lone Wolf, and I'm a Level 28 assault-type Battle Soul Master. I'll be responsible for awakening your Martial Soul today."

For a paying patron like this, he didn't mind saying a few extra words. He even did his best to make his tone gentler.

Su Yutao?

Hearing that name, the corners of Mo Yuan's mouth twitched involuntarily.

So what's your relationship with that blind God-King from back then? Could you be his descendant?

Looking at this nearly one-to-one replica of Master Su, Mo Yuan somehow felt that his chances of awakening a powerful Martial Soul had increased considerably.

Of course, jokes were jokes, but Mo Yuan still cooperated fully with the other man's work.

"Come on, raise your right hand. Calm your mind and sense the changes in your body."

As he spoke, Su Yutao activated his Lone Wolf Martial Soul. His entire body abruptly grew half a meter taller, and some wolf-like mane sprouted across him. Then he raised both hands high, and white light began spilling from them in unison.

The white light shot straight into the sky and entered the ceiling. The Soul Conduction Array activated, and clusters of patterns spread downward from above, coming alive as though they possessed life. Finally, all the patterns converged beneath Mo Yuan's feet.

A warm, tingling current flowed into his body from the soles of his feet, making him tremble faintly as though he had been shocked.

But he had no attention to spare for that sensation. He stared fixedly at the Soul Conduction Array on the surrounding walls.

For some reason, the Soul Conduction Array now appeared entirely different in his eyes.

The lines were constantly dismantled and reassembled within his vision, ultimately transforming into several extremely basic Soul Conduction Arrays.

This also allowed him to understand the specific structure of the Soul Conduction Array used to assist with Martial Soul awakenings.

If memorizing the array when he first arrived had been merely knowing what it was, then now he understood why it worked.

This was a qualitative leap. Once he understood the principles behind it, he could innovate and improve it in a way that suited him.

But why was this happening?

Although his learning ability was strong, he had never been able to see the exact composition of a complex Soul Conduction Array of this level so effortlessly before.

"Is this... a gemstone Martial Soul?"

Su Yutao's voice pulled Mo Yuan back from his thoughts.

A Martial Soul? Has mine already awakened?

Mo Yuan looked toward his right hand and only then realized that, at some point, a regular, deep-blue, multifaceted crystal had begun floating above it.

At first glance, it truly looked like a standard gemstone-type Martial Soul.

But Mo Yuan couldn't shake the feeling that this gemstone looked incredibly familiar.

He examined it closely. Suddenly, the crystal expanded countless times in his eyes, allowing him to see the countless miniature gears, mathematical formulas, and data streams suspended within it.

This, this was...

At that moment, a surge of information rushed into Mo Yuan's mind.

He immediately understood that his Martial Soul was actually the Herrscher of Reason Core!

No wonder he had been able to see the exact structure of the Soul Tool Core Array at a glance.

That was because it was one of the Herrscher of Reason's two great authorities—Analysis.

After touching or observing a target, it could instantly read all of its physical principles, structure, and operating logic, while obtaining the complete blueprint required to produce it. Inorganic matter, mechanical structures, energy weapons, ores, and so on could all be analyzed. Only the analysis of living flesh was extremely difficult and consumed enormous amounts of energy.

The other great authority was Reconstruction.

Based on the knowledge obtained through Analysis, once he understood it, he could directly use energy to skip every required production process and obtain the finished product.

Mo Yuan was overjoyed. Wasn't this the Martial Soul most suited to him?

His intelligence was high, and his learning ability was strong. Surely he wouldn't end up playing with it like a certain flat-chested fool and turn it into a complete mess.

Unexpectedly, Su Yutao sighed.

"Ah, although it's only an ordinary gemstone Martial Soul, it's still far better than those useless Martial Souls. Little fellow, there's no need to be sad."

Mo Yuan: Which of your eyes saw me being sad?

"All right, come on. Let's test your Soul Power."

As he spoke, Su Yutao took out a disk-shaped Soul Tool and gestured for Mo Yuan to place his hand on it.

Mo Yuan did as instructed and placed his left hand on it. A flash of blue light passed over the disk, and the numbers on it began jumping rapidly.

At the same time, the operating principles of this Soul Power tester, along with all related knowledge, transformed into a torrent of data and poured into Mo Yuan's mind. He absorbed it rapidly without showing anything on the surface.

"Innate... Innate Full Soul Power!"

After seeing the result, Su Yutao froze. He had never imagined that an ordinary gemstone Martial Soul could actually possess Innate Full Soul Power.

His professional composure was still quite good, however, and he quickly recovered.

"Congratulations, little fellow. Innate Full Soul Power."

"Mm, thank you." Mo Yuan nodded indifferently.

Su Yutao said no more and immediately issued Mo Yuan's awakening certificate.

It clearly stated:

Martial Soul: Sapphire

Innate Soul Power: Level 10

After leaving the awakening room, Lin Zhiwei rushed over in a single stride. "Xiao Yuan, how did it go? How did it go?"

Mo Yuan handed the certificate to Lin Zhiwei.

Lin Zhiwei took it and merely glanced at it before becoming excited. She abruptly pulled Mo Yuan into her arms. "Innate Full Soul Power! As expected of my Xiao Yuan!"

Mo Qingfeng also came over. He saw the words "Innate Full Soul Power" written on the certificate in Lin Zhiwei's hand.

"Hahaha, wonderful! I knew my son was a genius." Mo Qingfeng patted his son's shoulder proudly and burst into laughter.

The passersby nearby heard their laughter and revealed envious expressions.

If only my child could awaken Innate Full Soul Power too...

"All right, all right, let go of me first. There are so many people here."

Mo Yuan expended all his strength before finally breaking free from Lin Zhiwei's embrace.

Mo Qingfeng suddenly said, "Xiao Yuan, you have Innate Full Soul Power, so you can directly absorb a Soul Spirit and break through. Do you want to choose a Soul Spirit here at the Spirit Pagoda before we go back?"

A Soul Spirit?

Mo Yuan thought for a moment before agreeing. "Since we're already here, let's see if there are any suitable Soul Spirits."

Of course, if there were no suitable Soul Spirits, he decided he would search in Eastsea City or Skysea City.

After all, this was a matter of the utmost importance.

Mo Qingfeng told the front-desk Spirit Pagoda master what they intended to do, and the man immediately led the family of three into another passageway.
